1

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
4
40
66
84

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 8 = \( \frac{8}{2} \) = 4


2

Find the value of a:
8a + z = 2
7a + 8z = 2

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{14}{57}\)
-3

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

8a + z = 2
z = 2 - 8a

then substitute the result (2 - 8a) into the second equation:

7a + 8(2 - 8a) = 2
7a + (8 x 2) + (8 x -8a) = 2
7a + 16 - 64a = 2
7a - 64a = 2 - 16
-57a = -14
a = \( \frac{-14}{-57} \)
a = \(\frac{14}{57}\)


3

Solve for a:
-2a - 7 < -3 + 2a

55% Answer Correctly
a < \(\frac{6}{7}\)
a < \(\frac{2}{3}\)
a < -1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
a < -1

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-2a - 7 < -3 + 2a
-2a < -3 + 2a + 7
-2a - 2a < -3 + 7
-4a < 4
a < \( \frac{4}{-4} \)
a < -1


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

squaring

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
